Decision Offers a Rare, Detailed Discussion of the Probable-Cause Analysis of a Search Warrant Application Which Included Hearsay from Confidential Informants (Analyzed Under the Aguilar-Spinelli Reliability Tests), Controlled Buys and Surveillance

In a rare, detailed analysis of the sufficiency of a search warrant application which relied on confidential informants, surveillance, controlled buys, and hearsay found sufficient under the Aguilar-Spinelli tests, the Fourth Department determined the motion to suppress was properly denied.  The decision is notable for the depth of discussion and the full range of issues involved in the analysis of a search warrant application. People v Myhand, 2014 NY Slip Op 05742, 4th Dept 8-8-14
